Recently I have been focusing my attention on tea.  I have been adding tea cups, tea tumblers, loose leaf tea, tea bags, tea gift boxes, tea defusers, honey, strainers...well you get the idea.  I am excited to announce we will be dedicating a whole area to tea!  Please, to all you tea drinkers, share your wants and wishes with me!
